How long does it take to see the embryo of pregnancy

Many pregnant mothers who have just become pregnant want to know the growth and development of the little life in their belly as soon as possible. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers are very excited when they learn that there is a little life in their belly. However, women who are newly pregnant do not know when the fetus will have an electrocardiogram. So how many weeks of pregnancy can the embryo be seen?

What is embryo bud

After the fusion of sperm and egg to form sperm-egg union, the embryo implants and the sperm-egg union gradually disintegrates into a multicellular fetal sac. After more than thirty days of pregnancy, each primitive cell begins to divide and gradually forms a fetal bud and fetal heartbeat, which further develops into a fetal heartbeat. This is the whole process of a fetus being born. Generally, the period from the third week of pregnancy to the first month of pregnancy is called the embryonic bud and fetal heart stage. At this time, blood data signals of heart beats can be seen during B-ultrasound or ultrasound examination, and further development will result in the birth of a fetus.

How long does it take to see the embryo?

The whole process of fetal growth and development needs to go through the fusion of sperm and egg, gestational sac, fetal bud, and finally the fetal heartbeat will occur. Generally speaking, the embryo bud will appear between 40 and 50 days. When doing B-ultrasound around 40 days of pregnancy, it will be found that the embryo bud is already the size of a fingernail. That is to say, the embryo can be detected by B-ultrasound at six to seven weeks of pregnancy.

The embryo bud looks like a small seahorse. If the embryo bud is not found during the B-ultrasound examination at six to seven weeks, pregnant women should pay more attention to it, because this may be a symptom of fetal growth retardation.

It is a good habit to go to the hospital regularly to maintain the growth and development of the fetus. This can reduce the risk of fetal defects or fetal growth retardation. Understanding the growth and development of the fetus is also helpful for pregnant women, because pregnant women can judge what is happening with the growth and development of the fetus based on their own physical reactions. Pregnant women should know more about fetal development, which will be beneficial for the smooth delivery of the fetus.
